Multiplayer Help

Post by Marco »

Is it possible to veiw chat content on Spiritplumber's multiplayer test? I've attempted to chat using the Left Bracket key but I saw nothing in particular happen, no replies and so on. I gather that the chat feature isn't quite done, may be I'm wrong. :?:


It's good to see progress done toward a multiplayer implementation! :D

The multiplayer chat works, and yes use the [ key.... but, thank the engine guys rather than me :)

One thing you can try is connect wth tcp rather than udp if you're experiencing connection problems of this sort.

It times out with UDP if it can't receive messages, so it should fallback to TCP in that case.

Anyway for the "[" key to work, you currently need some config changes.
It should have come with those if you downloaded a config file from the registration screen...basically you need to modify the function of the "[" key to be chat rather than switching control of ships or turrets.
